(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A space is a punctuation convention for providing interword separation in some scripts, including the Latin, Cyrillic, and Arabic.Not all languages use spaces between words; the ancient Latin and Greek did not. Spaces were not used to separate words until roughly 600-800 AD. (See interword separation for more on the history.) Traditionally, all CJK languages have no space: modern Chinese and Japanese still don't, but modern Korea uses space.
In computer programming, the space corresponds to Unicode and ASCII character 32, or 0x0020.
In programming language syntax, spaces are frequently used to explicitly separate tokens. Aside from this use, spaces and other whitespace are usually ignored by most modern programming languages; Python is one exception.
In word processors and text editorss, if a line on a screen is shorter than the width of the screen or window, then the empty space to the right usually does not correspond with space characters in the file: there is simply a code indicating that the next text should be put on a new line. Thus, the size of the file is not made unnecessarily larger. If there are space characters, one usually does not see the difference; text editors and word processors often have an option to make them visible. Also, if there is a space character, the cursor can move there, otherwise usually not.

In chemistry, the term standard temperature and pressure (abbreviated STP) denotes an exact reference temperature of 0°C (273.15 K) and pressure of 1 atm (defined as 101325 Pa).
These values approximate freezing temperature and atmospheric pressure at sea level.
See also:
- standard state
In aviation, standard temperature and pressure at sea level are 15°C and 29.92 in. Hg (1013.2 millibars). These values provide a reference for calculating various aircraft performance figures, such as endurance, range, airspeed, and fuel consumption. When used to calculate performance at any pressure altitude other than sea level, the temperature is adjusted using the dry adiabatic lapse rate.
